Should we have bid more on Pavin Smith in MAIN? Does it matter, since we got Kyle Higashioka?

Alex Kirilloff batting fifth against righties, ninth against his first lefty Wednesday — has started six straight.

Clay’s boy, Shane McClanahan starting Thursday against the A’s.

The buzz surrounding Pedro Leon is mounting...

How much longer can Cleveland wait on Bobby Bradley, and to a lesser extent, Daniel Johnson?

Arizona somehow has by far the best wRC+ (155) in the majors against LHP, so this is another big test for Ryan Weathers.

Jazz Chisholm to the IL, probably would have graduated with two more games.

Cale Loken wants to know what our prediction is for Jazz in startup dynasty drafts next offseason

Joel Steen wants a breakdown of Marco Luciano, whom he just acquired in a trade

Dan Corrado: Any catcher targets/strategies in dynasty? What are we doing with Plesac — when’s the next dynasty update?

Michael Patrick: Is it time for a rebuilder to give up on Willy Adames, Clint Frazier, or Nick Senzel and give the roster spots to players with more upside? J.Mac also wanted to know what to do with Senzel…

The Ulysses Sect: Lux/Jazz/Solak ROS and long term?

Patrick: Could we see Tristan Casas in Boston this year?

Toolsy: Baddoo or Jarren Duran ROS?

Jason Jablonski - Sell on Rogers/Antone?

Jeff Erickson and Chris Liss tell the story of how their wide reaching popular daily radio show began. The duo recalls war stories of getting fired, told they were boring by over-reaching program directors, and how they fought back to become one of the signature fantasy sports shows in the world. 

In February of 2022, Chris Liss shocked the audience by announcing his departure from the show, effectively ending a multi-decade partnership in radio with RotoWire co-founder Jeff Erickson. 

Special appearances by Hall of Fame Fantasy Sportswriter, Scott Pianowski, Dalton Del Don (Yahoo Fantasy Sports), and Greg Ambrosius (Sports HubTech/ NFFC). All are regular guests on the RWFST program.

This podcast is hosted, directed, and produced by long time super fan of the show, and RotoWire video editor, Alan Seslowsky.

This podcast is a tribute to all of the fans who tuned in every week to hear Jeff and Liss.
